Do not quit your job because of these 5 reasons
Never quit your job in a huff. Don’t take actions that will burn bridges with your current employer or the people you work with. Know they are your references for future jobs and these people will appreciate, respect and remember mature and professional exits.

So your company is sinking or is headed for a shutdown. This is not the right time to resign. Quit only when you have a plan/new job. Until then dig deep and help your team and employer while you still have a job. Here you build outstanding relationships, learnings and stories for future job interviews.
For future employers, a resignation in the face of failure will seem like you were fi red. Do the right thing instead. Get back to work, stand up to the challenge, take the criticism and hit and focus on bouncing back. Remain responsible for outcomes and accountable for your happiness.
The job market follows a simple rule—you are perceived to be as good as your present employment. So, unless something is terribly wrong, never quit until you have another job in hand. When you are out of a job, your negotiation power is much lower and job search becomes emotionally challenging.
Before quitting, ask yourself— can I afford it? Check your financial health and measure your wealth in terms of number of days you can survive without a new source of income. Remind yourself why you need the salary, be grateful for your income and chin up while you create financial leverage.
